Hello,

With history, I understand that you have radiating pain in the arms and wrist along with tingling and numbness. These symptoms are due to nerve root entrapment in the cervical spine.

I will advise you to look for the MRI of the cervical spine. The reports will help us understand the pathology of the nerve and the soft tissue associated.

For now, you can use a soft neck collar, use hot water fermentation for the neck and once the symptoms reduce you can start doing neck and upper limb strengthening exercises.

You should be fine in 2 weeks of time if all goes well.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Jay Indravadan Patel, Physical Therapist or Physiotherapist
